SILVERTON
GUARDS VISIT
COMPANY “A”
Aa scheduled, Monday evening, the
Joint drill of the Silverton Guards
and the Stayton Oregon Guards was
held on the achool grounds here.
Owing to a fire near Silverton, the
boys from there were late In getting
here, having been detailed for guard
duty in the afternoon, but after they
arrived both companies were turned
over to Captain Sm ith, of Silverton,
who put the bunch through some
fine maneuvers, till about 9:30 when
they marched to the Masonic hall
where a lunch had been prepared for
them.
The lunch consisted of ice cream ,
cake and good fresh apple cider,
which was served by pretty girls in
an appetizing manner.
A fter lunch Captain Smith was In
